Greece is packed
with beautiful beaches, ancient monuments, cultural melting-pots and many
idyllic laid back getaways. But there are sights in Greece which are just
indescribable, no words are great enough to describe their magic. They are not
only difficult to understand but it seems like the nature has made them
willfully unfathomable. Here’s a decent effort from our side to tell you about
3 such incomprehensible sights.
Ruins of Acropolis

The citadel of
Acropolis sits dramatically on hill top, overlooking the Athens. It gleams
enigmatically in the sun, redefining its embellishments. At night, its
mystically radiance hypnotizes the viewers. Just a glimpse of this citadel can
make you skip your heartbeats, no matter what time of day it is.
Nearby open-air
restaurants give you the joy of delightful mainland cuisines along with the
view of Parthenon lit up gorgeously. Beyond the Parthenon, you will explore the
small temple of Athena Nike and the Acropolis Museum which has unbelievably
preserved some of the most precious jewels of the fortified city.

Even the most
unenthusiastic travellers lure in the charisma of the otherworldly landscape of
Santorini (Thira), marked by the caldera and its encompassing cliffs of various
hues. The island is loved for multitude of reasons but sunset remains the most
significant reason behind its incredible popularity. The best spot to see the
sun plunge into the horizon is from the northern tip of Oia village. The
evenings are usually swarmed; visitors get inspired by the enchanting views of
cliffs resembling a vivid canvass. Ditching the crowds is easier but you will
have to bear the pain of scrambling up to the top of the cliffs.

Meteora

The first sight of
Meteora will leave a strong imprint on your soul- rocks kissing the skies and
monasteries perched gloriously at the summit.
These monasteries acted as the lender of the last resorts to hermit
monks who were escaping the Turkish conquerors. The monks reached the monastery
via rope ladders, but the question remains that how would have they built such
a grandeur monument on such steep rising cliffs – The jury is still on. Apart
from history lovers, this site pulls in droves of climbers from across the
world.
